get left the train secretly and were
never seen again. It was three
years before the nugget vas heard
of again, and information of its
whereabouts then came through q
half-breed Indian who was dying
at military post in Colorado. He
told a sergeant of cavalry where it
could be found. and the sergeant
and two private soldiers deserted
and went to secure it. They were
tracked to q mountain about fifty
miles away, and were found to have
dug up something and headed for
Kansas. They were followed for
day and a half, and then the bodies
of the two privates were found on
the ground, shot through the head.
The sergeant had murdered them
in order to have the prize all to
himself. Civil officers all over Kan
sas and Nebraska were notified to
be on the lookout for the deserter
and murderer, but to this day no
one can tell what fate befell him.
The big nugget has been heard of
in an indirect and roundabout way
several times since, and it has al
ways been understood that it was
in the hands of the Indians. Some
thing definite as to its exact loca-
ton must have been learned this
fall, or an expedition would not be
preparing to set out at the opening |
of winter. The lost nugget is no
doubt the largest mass of crude
gold ever discovered in California,
and if an expedition of five or six
men can succeed in getting posses
sion of it at this time there is for
tune in it for each and every man.

"Last fall" says Bill Nye, 81
desired to add to my collection a
large hornets nest. had an en-
balmed tarantula and her porce-
lain-lined nest, and / desired to
add to these the gay and airy home
of the hornet. procured one of
the large size after cold weather.
and hung it in my cabinet by a
string. When warm weather came
something reminded me of it. l
think it was a hornet. He logged
my memory in some way that
called my attention to it. Memo
ry is not located where l thought
it was. 1t seemed as though when
ever he touched me he awakened
memOry-a warm memory with
red place all around it. Then some
more hornets came and began to
rake up old personalities. l re-
member that one of them lit on my
upper lip. He thought it was a
rosebud. When he went away it
looked like a gladiolus bulb. l
wrapped a wet sheet around it to
take out the warmth and reduce
the swelling, so that l could go
through the folding doors and tell
my wife about it. Hornets lit all
over me and walked around on nv
person. / did not dare to scrape
them off because they are so sensi-
tive. You have to be very guarded
in your conduct toward hornet.
l remember once while was
watching the busy little hornet
gathering honey and June bugs
from the bosom of a rose, years
ago l stirred him up with a club,
more as practical joke than any,
thing else, and he came and lit in
my sunny hair-that was when l
wore my own hair-and he walked |
around through my cleaning tress-
es quite awhile, making tracks as
large as watermelon all over my
head. If he hadn't run out Of
tracks my head would look like a
load of summer squashes. l re-
member had to thump my head
against the smoke-house in order
to smash him, and had to comb
him out with fine comb and wear
a waste-paper basket two weeks for
D hat. Much has been said of the
hornet, but he has an odd, quaint
way after all, that is forever new"

When Halton, one of the officers
of Charlemagne's household, went
on an embassy to the Byzantine
Court he was invited by the Greek
Emperor to dine and placed by
him in the midst of his mobiles.
There was an established law
among the Greeks that no one at
the Princes table should turn over
the body of an animal that was
served up, but that they should eat
of the part that was uppermost.
On this occasion a fresh-water fish
was brought up, garnished with vari-
Gus sauces, and the ambassador,
who knew nothing of the customs
ofthe country, unfortunately turned
the fish over, upon which the
courtiers, filled with Indignation,
arose, and, addressing the Emperor,
said:
"Do not suffer yourself, O En-
peror, to be treated with disrespect
that was never shown to any of
your ancestors. Command that
this stranger, who has broken your
laws in your very presence, be in
stantly put to DEATH"
The Emperor answered, turning
to Halton and signing:
=" ! cannot refuse the request Of
my lord, but ask of me any other
boon but that of your life, and /
will grant it,"
Halton reflected for q moment
and then said:
Il will only ask of you a small
favor; grant, most gracious SOW
ereign, that all those who saw me
turn the fish over may have their
eyes put out"
The Emperor, astonished at the
strangeness of this request, vowed
that he had only pronounced the
words of others.
The Empress also was perfectly
positive that she had seen nothing
Of it, and the mobiles one after an
other made the same declaration.
The result was that as no one had
'een the offence be could not be
punished for it.
